XP-90C

[sakurakana1003]

I searched but couldn't find an answer, in short: has anyone had any trouble with the XP-90C due to its weight? I'm gonna receive mine tomorrow but I'm getting paranoid of the weight. Can most boards withstand that much weight? Specs in sig.

i haven't had any problems with it. You shouldn't have any trouble at all....i didn't think it was that heavy

I know that most motherboards say they have a weight limit of something like 300-400 grams for the HSF assembly, but obviously that's not true. I guess it's more of a weight suggestion, or all the the manufacturer is responsible for. I've also noticed that some HSF manufacturers reccomend not moving the system after attaching a big heatsink. I wonder if there's a way to attach the backplate to the mobo tray or something so its not hanging directly off the mobo or socket?

Just don't ship your computer UPS with the heatsink on and you will be fine.
